My Students

My students are spirited learners who are eager to learn as much as they can about music! We are a diverse school with students from many different backgrounds who are all learning how to collaborate by making music together. I teach students of many different ability levels and learning types, such as ADHD and learning differences. Many of my students struggle to be successful in the general classroom setting, but music can give them a way to shine.

My students love to sing, play instruments, and be creative!

They love to compose and perform on classroom instruments. I strive to make sure that my students get an enriching and individualized experience in my general music class. I am always searching for ways to supplement my music lessons to keep them interested and inspired.

My Project

This is an excellent assortment of pitched and unpitched classroom percussion instruments. Inspired by musical sounds from Africa and South America, these percussion instruments will help my students learn about the music of other cultures in a fun and authentic way: by performing it themselves!

There is no greater sight than the look on a child's face when he or she hears the sound of a ratchet or cowbell for the first time.

It's a look of pure joy and excitement. These instruments will inspire my students to want to make music joyfully and perform together.

In addition to the unpitched percussion selections, I am also hoping to add to my classroom selection of handbells so that more students can work on reading treble clef notation. Playing handbells requires specific coordination and teamwork as my students will focus on reading the music and finding exactly where their instrument fits into the piece as a whole.
